REQUIREMENTS: 60 Credit Hours

The Master of Arts Christian Studies Major is designed to improve the students' ability to serve Jeus Christ in the church and the world in a lay (or possibly para-church) ministry. It seeks to enable them to be more effective disciples of Christ, in all spheres of their lives. The program aims to provide students with basic skills for studying the English Bible as well as the opportunity for serious study of the Bible and of theology in order to improve knowledge of God's Word and enabling students to articulate their faith. The program will allow students to gain practical knowledge that will improve their ministry.

This program provides a high degree of freedom, allowing students to compile a program that best suits their needs and interests. The degree requirement is 60 credit hours but only 18 are prescribed with elective options being from the Biblical & Theological Studies, Christian Ministries and Counselling.

Two different delivery formats are available for this program. On-campus study in Otterburne, MB, or an innovative Distance Education format that includes online, module, and interactive distance education courses.
